Yeah. The only reason I can see for a raise like this is to "buy the blinds" which doesn't work often enough and is over-rated anyway, I think. Pot-sized is the way to go if you want to raise. The issue I have with that is it then commits about 15-20% of your stack and you'll be faced with a tough decision on a flop you miss - which is why I prefer just to call.
